Level of problem: National/state
Category: Death row execution
Who
does this affect: Anyone awaiting death row in prison as well as tax
payers who have to pay an outrageous amount of money to have these
people die in a "civil" way.
How does this effect families or individuals?
This effects individuals because we pay a huge amount for each person to be executed.
My opinion on the article:
The
article is about a man who raped and murdered his girlfriends daughter
which is one of the worst things I think I have ever in my life heard,
and he wants the execution date to be pushed back because the doctor
cannot find his vein to be lethally injected. In circumstances like
this I just wish we could go back to simpler ways of doing things such
as hangings or shootings. Capital punishment in the United States is a
bit of a rarity compared to other countries, my group project actually
goes much further in detail about the comparisons. So when someone is
being executed it is almost always because they have brutally murdered
one or more people. In my opinion I just do not think we need to be
spending upwards of 100k to execute someone when there are other ways of
killing them without any pain. I never liked the idea of the electric
chair as that can cause much pain before they die, I am in no way for
that. But I do believe capital punishment to be necessary in situations
like this, I just wish we didn't have to be so picky about the way
these brutal criminals have to die in such as civil manner.
